Household Hints.

Do not place raw meat directly on ice
| for the juices are apt to be withdrawn
| They should never be left in the wrap
ping paper. Put them in an uncovered
earthen dish and then set them on the
| ice.
To guard against the ravages of the
spring sun and to cure freckles and PIN
plies, mix 200 grammes of rose water, IL
of glycerine, 10 of bitter almonds, 10 Of
tincture of benzoin and 6 of borote
of soda (borate de soude) and use twice
daily.
Equal parts of ammonia and turpen
tine will take paint out OF clothing, nc
matter how dry or hard it may be. Sat
urate the spot two or three times, then
wash out in soap suds.
To polish glass and remove slight
scratches rub the surface gently, first
with clean pad of fine cotton wool and
afterward with similar pad covered
with cotton velvet which has been
charged with fine rouge. The surface
will, under this treatment, acquire
a polish of great brilliancy, quite free
from the presence of any scratches.
For burns apply white of egg and
sweet oil, equal parts, beaten together
You may know the fire is out when the
burned flesh turns red and quits run
